Chapter 131:
Taking a deep breath, she raised her eyes again with a surprising calmness.
“Let me make this clear one more time. I did not push Maisie. Stop accusing me falsely p>
“Accusing you falsely?” Ryan sneered.
“I saw you push her down the stairs with my own eyes. How can you deny that? Initially, when Maisie told me you pushed her, I couldn’t believe you were capable of such a thing. But now, I see the truth. You, Jenessa Wright, are thoroughly vile and wicked p>
A crisp sound of a slap echoed.
Jenessa’s eyes stung as she stared at Ryan, who had jerked his head away from the impact.
A torrent of heartache, reluctance, grievance, and resentment welled up inside her.
She had truly had enough of this man!
It wasn’t until Ryan felt his cheek burning that he fully grasped what had occurred.
He turned to Jenessa, who was glaring at him with a stern expression, in shock. This woman had actually dared to strike him!
Jenessa was undeterred by Ryan’s terrifying gaze; she was poised to slap him again.
In an instant, Ryan captured her wrist.
“You’d better stop,” he cautioned angrily, sensing her intention to strike again.
Caught under his intense gaze, Jenessa’s heart skipped a beat, helping her regain her composure.

At that moment, she recognized the audacity of her actions. She had indeed slapped Ryan! That was a brave act.
Observing her newfound calm, Ryan’s features softened.
“Come with me now, or you know the consequences p>
At this, Richard, his expression darkening, seemed poised to step in.
“Don’t p>
“Fine, I’ll go with you,” Jenessa quickly conceded, eager to prevent the situation from spiraling further. She also wanted to avoid pulling Richard into further conflict.
Turning to see the concern etched on Richard’s face, she offered a weak smile and reassured him gently, “This is just between him and me, Rick. Don’t worry; I’ll handle this personal matter p>
Ryan wouldn’t resort to physical harm; she was sure of it. He had already delivered his cruelest words; she was no longer afraid.
“Did you hear that? This matter is between me and my wife. I would advise you not to interfere further, or the consequences will escalate beyond mere arguments.” Ryan’s voice was chilling, compelling Richard to pause.
It wasn’t Ryan’s intimidating demeanor that halted him, but rather Jenessa’s firm assertion that this was a personal matter. Given that Jenessa was now another man’s wife, he found he no longer had any right to protect or care for her.
Annoyed by their exchange, Ryan yanked Jenessa toward his car.
Once they were inside, he demanded sternly, “Tell me honestly, who is that man p>
Facing forward, her expression devoid of emotion, Jenessa replied icily, “We’re getting divorced. Mr. Haynes, you have no right to meddle in my personal affairs p>
Her words ignited a fresh wave of anger in Ryan.
